Carbon Resistor

Carbon Resistor is a passive electronic component that slows down flow of current through which depends on the value of its resistance.

  • Carbon resistors are made from solid cylindrical resistive element with embedded wire leads or metal end caps.
  • Resistive element are made from both solid carbon (graphite) and clay additive to help with durability.
  • The resistance value and tolerance can be determined from the standard resistor color code.
